ROKU TV Settings for Resolution

Is there a way to set the resolution of a 4K TV to only display 1080 or 720?  I have a TV setup at my dad's for the grandkids to watch their shows on. Cartoons Disney etc. Many of the programs are 4K and use a lot of bandwidth for no reason. With ISP's starting to crack down on data caps this is a big waste of data for 4- and 5-year-old who are not paying attention to begin with. On the ROKU streaming boxes, you can set the max resolution. However, I cannot find anywhere in any of the TV's. It is the same with four assorted brands of TV as well if that makes a difference.

 Thanks in advance

Same problem!!!

Eating up every bit of my data in just a couple of hours! I can't figure out how to change the resolution. I keep seeing articles about the "display type" option but my Onn Roku TV doesn't have one!!! My 3 yr old is now hooked on blaze the monster machine but can't watch it.
